Lennon was infamously pictured smoking a cigar during a boozy get-together at the team hotel hours after the thrashing by Germany.[>

But he will start against Dutch champions FC Twente tonight as Spurs look to get their season back on track in the Champions League.[>

[>

And Tottenham boss Redknapp claims the only person who can get him out of his recent dip is the 23-year-old himself.[>

[>

He said: “I never saw that picture of him. Someone told me he had a big cigar in his mouth. If he smokes too many of those he’ll lose his speed and then he’ll be in trouble![>

[> “But seriously, I talk to him about his game all the time and I’ve never spoken to him about that incident.

[>

“He was flying last year, but he’s certainly not playing like that now, that’s for sure. It’s getting harder and harder for him in that position.[>

[>

“He needs to get a bit of confidence. Maybe in training you stick him up against someone at left-back you know he can beat. [>

[>

“Since the World Cup he’s been left out by England but he’s got to fight through that, he can’t give up. He’s a young kid with great ability.[>

[>

“We have to work with him and get him going again. That’s what we get paid to do as coaches.”[>

Lennon has not figured for England since the dour goalless draw with Algeria, when he was substituted after 63 minutes.[>

[>

But Spurs team-mate Tom Huddlestone has warned Twente they will be playing right into Tottenham’s hands if they focus on the winger.[>

[>

He said: “A lot of teams know his qualities now. West Ham doubled up on him and anybody with two players on them is going to find it difficult.[>

[>

“But we’ve got other players throughout the pitch we can turn to if Aaron is being double-marked.” Spurs have won just one of their last six games in all competitions, their worst run since March 2009.[>

[>

Champions League football has clearly had an affect on their domestic form – and Redknapp admitted turning to an old stager for advice on how to cope.[>

[>

He picked former Chelsea star Gianfranco Zola’s brains after running into the Italian earlier this month.[>

[> Redknapp said: “He told me he always found it difficult to get up for a league game after being on such a high in Europe. But that is what the big teams like Chelsea have had to get used to.

[>

“They are used to it now and we have to get used to it as well.”[>
